The Windows 11 Start menu doesn’t look much like the Start menu in older versions of Windows. Instead of living in the bottom-left corner, it lives in the bottom center of your screen. But although its position and design have changed, the Start menu’s basic mechanics remain the same.

Click the Start button, and the Start menu rises, listing the apps and programs installed on your PC. Click an app or program, and it leaps to the screen, ready for action.

In this chapter, I explain how to figure out this odd new Start menu. Whether you’re using a tablet or desktop PC, this chapter shows how to make the Start menu do its main job: launch your apps and programs.

If you’re using a touchscreen computer, substitute the word tap when you read the word click. Tapping twice works like double-clicking. And when you see the term right-click, touch and hold your finger on the glass; lift your finger when the right-click menu appears.
